• Progressives should unite against criminals who bomb Iraqi universities

 I want to propose that we engage in a little clear thinking about the latest cowardly attack on students and staff at a University in Iraq. I believe this attack is just another little 9/11, and also believe that no one posting on this thread would offer any support for it. It is not any unfortunate mistake from a ‘brave resistance’ against a foreign occupation. This deliberate targeting of civilians is mass murder, pure and simple. People who perpetrate such crimes are the direct enemy of all progressives the world over. I am prepared to unite with other people who have disagreed with my views of history in order to defeat this enemy now.
